What does AMENT mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A catkin, the slim, often drooping flower cluster produced by trees such as willow, birch, or hazel.
An ament hangs from the branch of certain trees and carries many small flowers packed tightly along a central stalk, usually without petals. Botanists use ament as the technical term for what most people simply call a catkin, and the structure typically releases pollen or seeds once mature. Willows, hazels, and birches all produce a recognizable ament in early spring before their leaves fully open.
